I did not hear much from the people involved since this message,
but I have a bit less ugly solution along the lines outlined
above, in the proposed updates branch. Incidentally this would
also simplify Martin's git-findtags, especially if we do not
worry about its '-t' option.
I'll be sending 3-patch series; the first two are preparatory
but what may be useful for Pasky and Martin is in the third
one.
[PATCH] Ignore funny refname sent from remote.
[PATCH] Introduce notation "ref^{type}".
[PATCH] Show peeled onion from upload-pack and server-info.
